Highway superintendent reports roadwork; flags jump in loader price to $204,000
Summary
Highway Superintendent Jonathan Fish reported dirt road work, ditching and driveway starts, and said a loader under consideration rose in price to $204,000 (an increase the minutes attribute to tariffs/taxes), potentially pushing it beyond the town's reach.
Jonathan Fish, Minerva's Highway Superintendent, reported ongoing dirt road work, ditch repairs including a washout on 14th Road linked to a beaver dam, completed road cuts on Beach Road and CR-30, and the start of driveway approaches on Donnelly Road. He said county crews left equipment in Irishtown to finish scheduled work.
Fish told the board that a loader the town had been considering has increased in price to $204,000, an increase described in the minutes as about $30,000 attributed to tariffs/taxes; the minutes note that the price already reflects a 51% reduction the town expects through the state. The board did not vote on purchasing equipment at the June 19 meeting.
